The Eukaryotic Genomic Databases book has just been released by Springer (Editors: Kollmar, Martin) and contains detailed chapters related to the eukaryotic databases such as WormBase, FlyBase, the yeast databases, SGD and PomBase, etc. The chapters describe database contents and classic use-cases, which assist in accessing eukaryotic genomic data and encouraging comparative genomic research.

If you are looking for C. elegans genome assemblies go to this WormBase page and make sure the ‘Genome Assemblies’ widget in the right-hand side bar is chosen. Scroll down to the ‘Genome Assemblies’ widget. You can also navigate to the current genome assemblies for any species by opening the ‘Tools’ menu on the horizontal bar on the WormBase home page, so Tools->Under ‘General Search’->Browse by Species. Click on the species you want in the WormBase Core genomes table to navigate to the page with the genome assemblies widget (remember to have it chosen in the side bar).
